Title: "country" music
Post by: BigBen81 on May 06, 2014, 05:51:17 PM
Is this what country music is becoming???  Every time I turn on the radio I hear this song, and I want to puke.  I've never heard anyone that lived out in the country say "holla at ya boy".  What a joke.

Yea, I can't stand that song either.  Between that, the Florida/Georgia Line hip-hop/country, and the Taylor Swift dance music, I can't even listen to "country" stations anymore.

When I think of country music, I think  of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr, Willie Nelson, etc. The only songs I listen to that are modern are from people like Trace Atkins, Luke Bryan, Lee Brice and some others but only certain songs from each artist.....

yup, I haven't really listened to country music in a long time. Can't stand this new stuff, it's just mostly thinly disguised pop. They just put in their keywords like 4 wheel drive and truck and redneck, and viola, a country song lol! It's pretty funny listening to this stuff and seeing city kids around here describing themselves as "rednecks" when they have no clue to the origin or meaning of the word. But they got big lifted trucks and they chew snuff and listen to "country music" so that makes them rednecks lol!

Jamey Johnson is as close to outlaw country as you will find today.  The rest is trash.

The new country music is about as country and "redneck" as the show duck dynasty. Lolololol

Guess I'm the odd man out. I like new country except the boy band sounding crap. And Duck Dynasty is funny stuff.

Found a link to this in an article I was reading on Eric Church (whose music I do like). I thought it was pretty funny and sad all rolled into one.

While an overwhelming majority of the "country" these days is not even the same league as some of the real country from years past, I gotta give it to them, or at least their managers - they are marketing to their target audience and raking in the dough. I've seen Jamie Johnson twice in the last few years and enjoyed his show a lot. I saw Zac Brown this winter as well, and he put on a heck of show and did some talented work that you don't hear on the mainstream radio.

Some of the new "country" stuff I can handle, but most of it makes me sick at my stomach.

I nearly gave up on country radio but a couple months ago they started a new station in the area that plays 80s, 90s and 00s.  I'd prefer 70s-90s, but I'll take this.  It's great to hear ol' George Jones, Willie, Hank Jr, Keith Whitley and those guys.

I have to listen to a new country station while on a van to and from work.  There are a few songs that I like, but I'll be the first to admit that many don't sound country at all. I will frequently ask:  How is this song country?  Somebody will say:  well, what else is it?  sounds country to me.  I'll pull out Hank Jr "Stoned at the Jukebox" and tell them now that's what country sounds like!

One recent one I do like, and it doesn't sound much like country, is "Automatic."  The first time I heard it was in turkey hunting camp in April!

I like some of the new country, but prefer the good ole stuff. I even like some of FLA-GA Line's songs, as well as Luke Bryan's stuff. But not all of it. I really hate Luke Bryan's "Sitting here, waiting on a deer" song. Makes all hunters seem like drunken rednecks shooting up the woods. ::)
Give me some Waylon, Hank & Hank Jr., George Strait, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, and other great ones. :cowboy:

Goes to show you have heard very little country music and just following the stereotype of it.

I've heard my share of it friend, don't like, has nothing to do with stereotyping, just my opinion.

About the only one worth listening to, in my opinion, is Eric Church. As far as I'm concerned, Luke Bryan is one step away from Pop/Hip Hop. He's all about gyrating and rapping with a guitar. Not my idea of country.

Jason Aldean is ok but I feel like he isn't far from being another air humping guitar rapper.

Florida Georgia Line is another one of those "country" pop hip hop bands.

Last but not least, I am actually a fan of Taylor Swift.

More of a fan of the older stuff like Conway Twitty, Patsy Cline, Hank Sr., George Jones, etc.............

Post by: ILIKEHEVI-13 on May 09, 2014, 12:25:12 AM
I like Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift, Meranda Lambert, George Strait, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, and a lot of the newer artist.  Country is still the king of music according to most folks.
